Also nice :-)
Anyway, if you aren't sure what works and what not, comment out
everything in init/main.c that isn't essential. No drivers except
console, no IRQs, no nothing. Perhaps even paging_init() etc.
Well, guess you got it. Strip the kernel down to nearly nothing,
and then try again to enable features again, step by step.
Cheers,
